ISLAND OF THE LOST (1967). An abrasive Scientist travels with his family to the South Pacific, become shipwrecked and marvel at the strange wildlife found on said island. Ivan Tors (of FLIPPER fame) has his name on production, Ricou Browning (Titular underwater denizen of the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON series and who also worked on FLIPPER) directs and the script is written by another CREATURE alumnus Richard Carlson (also in THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE and VALLEY OF GWANGI). There is some excellent underwater photography and interesting cast; Richard Greene (TV Robin Hood), Luke Halpin (FLIPPER, SHOCK WAVES), Robin Mattson (BONNIE'S KIDS and TV GENERAL HOSPITAL) and lovely Irene Tsu

I liked IOTL as a little FD, but find it quite dull this time around. The scientist /Father is such an asshole, I'm surprised He wasn't pushed off the boat
!
Probably a film that was more fun to make than it is to watch. **
